you’re no train
(Key of D - Drop D tuning DADGBE)
D
well a train blows a whistle before it pulls away,
G D
but no word or warning do you say.
A G F D
one minute right beside me, another you’re a thousand miles away.
well I felt such a shaking and I heard such a whirr
and I swore we were moving fast enough to blur.
then I opened up my eyes and found that we’re right back where we were.
Bm G A
baby you’re no train, you’re the track.
Bm G A
always running away, always running back.
Bm G A
baby you’re no train, you’re the steam blowing by.
how I longed for the journey, and those far distant lands,
I believed all your promises and plans.
now I’m standing at the station with a lonely ticket in my hand.
baby you’re no train, you’re the track.
always running away and running back.
Bm G A G - F
baby you’re no train, you’re the silence behind.
D G D G
so roll on roll on roll on roll on.
